LUKE’S POV

Ariel turned around, with my hand still holding hers. Her expression towards me was not that nice. Okay maybe it was nice, but she looked confused with everything. And I too was puzzled myself, just carrying out these actions without thinking things through.

The hurtful words that had been directed to her, quite a massive blow. Thunderstricken, harmful like a hurricane. And the hate I claim better be stuck with me, because I don’t even have knowledge of the things I utter in certain situations.
